The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Called thy name - made thee.
Olive - (Psalms 52:8; Romans 11:17). The "olive" is chosen to represent the adoption of Judah by the free grace of God, as its oil is the image of richness (cf. Psalms 23:5; Psalms 104:15).
With the noise of a great tumult - or, 'at the noise,' etc., namely, the tumult of the invading army (Isaiah 13:4). (Maurer.) Or rather, 'with the sound of a mighty voice-namely, that of God - i:e., the thunder; thus there is no confusion of metaphors. The tree stricken with lightning has 'fire kindled upon it, and the branches are broken,' at one and the same time (Houbigant).
